November 21 in Virginia: US Grappling presents Converse Girls in Sports

US Grappling is proud to be part of the 2010 Converse Girls in Sports event happening at the Boo Williams Sportsplex on November 20 and 21, 2010. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling tournament will take place on Sunday, November 21. This event will have divisions for juvenile girls and women of any age. Juveniles will have gi and no gi divisions available, and women will have gi and no gi divisions, plus absolutes for each skill/belt level. Registration is now open.

Weigh ins will be held from 8-10 AM, and the rules meeting will be held at 10:30. No gi divisions will start right after the rules meeting, and the gi divisions will go after that. We’ll publish a more detailed schedule as the event approaches.

Juvenile divisions at US Grappling events now use the Madison Bracketing System. There will no longer be preset weight classes for juveniles. Using the Madison system means children and teens will be less likely to cut weight since they won’t know the weight classes in advance.

Thanks to our sponsors! Each competitor will be entered to win prizes from Fenom Kimonos and Cageside MMA.
